Wide and Fast

If you need an ultra-wide angle and a large aperture, one of the following lenses will fit the bill. Ultra-wide-angle lenses can capture scenes beyond your natural field of vision. The EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, the widest of them all, has a 180˚ angle of view. For more normal-looking wide-angle shots, there are longer wide-angle lenses up to 35mm with the maximum aperture you need.

A full-frame fisheye lens that’s ideal for special effects with any EOS camera, film or digital. It focuses as close as eight inches (0.2m), and is tack-sharp throughout its focus range. Up to three gel filters can be inserted into its built-in rear filter holder.

This is a true rectilinear ultra-wide-angle lens that’s absolutely corrected for linear distortion — straight lines remain straight. It’s outstanding for shooting in confined areas and interiors, and is often used by professionals because of the unique “look” its extreme wide- angle perspective provides. The optics are superb, highlighted by a ground and polished aspherical element. It has a gel filter holder in the rear that allows up to three gel filters to be used for color correction.

The optical performance, fast f/2.8 speed and ultra-wide-angle coverage make this a great choice for many applications, like interiors, scenics, travel and photojournalism. It uses a “floating” optical system for excellent sharpness even at its minimum focusing distance of under 10 inches (0.25m), and with a ring-type USM and full-time manual focusing capability, offers the speed and handling pros expect.

That f/1.4 is not a typo — this is the fastest ultra-wide-angle lens in the world. The first EF lens to combine Aspherical and UD Ultra-low Dispersion glass L-series optical technologies, the 24mm f/1.4L provides outstanding sharpness and contrast even wide open. It focuses down to 10 inches/0.25m, and the AF is what you’d expect from a professional Canon lens with USM — fast and silent, with smooth full-time manual focus available at any time.
